Hardware Systems Intern Interview Experience - Cupertino, California
Process
Interviewers were amazing and knowledgeable. Almost all technical questions were asked across three rounds.
Recruiters, however, were not the best. They were slow to respond and very often out of office. HR coordinators were not much help either.
I was completely ghosted after the final round for months.
Questions
Walk me through the design of a calculator with physical buttons and a Bluetooth connection.
